Gardens and wildlife in College

Jesus College has approximately 33 acres of land on its main site, which includes a variety of wildlife habitats.

We have found everything from muntjac deer to nesting sparrowhawks, water voles to common newts. We have started a nature blog to investigate and showcase the wildlife that has been found, including running a year round moth trap and a nestbox webcam. You can see our nature trail marked on Jesus College's map and the College nestbox live feed is below.

Contributions are welcome; please contact wildlife@jesus.cam.ac.uk if you think you have spotted something or would like to help in any way.
